And the Oscar goes to....

In the catagory of "Bullshit Lies", for this day-after-The-Oscars version of "Why We Fight", the nominees are:

Victoria Clark:
"One of our top objectives is to find and destroy the WMD. There are a number of sites" 3/22/03

General Tommy Franks:
"There is no doubt that the regime of Saddam Hussein possesses weapons of mass destruction. And . . . as this operation continues, those weapons will be identified, found, along with the people who have produced them and who guard them" 3/22/03

and

George W. Bush:
"Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent" 1/24/03

The Oscar goes to....

General Tommy Franks for "There is no doubt that the regime of Saddam Hussein possesses weapons of mass destruction. And . . . as this operation continues, those weapons will be identified, found, along with the people who have produced them and who guard them" 3/22/03


Industry insiders were not suprised that Franks won the award, one anonymous source told us "Everyone knows Bush is a liar - he does it all the time. And Victoria Clark? Please. She's a professional bullshiter. But the common view is that soliders should be held to a higher standard, a code of honor and all that. I think that's what made Franks' lie that much worse".
